I'm SO happy you've stopped by the blog today as today is the March 2016 Design Team Blog Hop. Along with the hop we have a GIVEAWAY! So be sure to grab a drink, get comfy, relax and enjoy.
As we've quite a few new followers here, ("Hello & Thank you") I will explain what's going on! Here at Uniko I *USUALLY* only release new products every other month. This is for a number of reasons, firstly, being an avid paper crafter myself and knowing the current economic climate I know 'some' are on a limited budget when it comes to buying new stash, so this way you're not tempted to splurge too much every month.
The second reason is that it is just me here at Uniko HQ. I currently run this little business single handedly, designing, blogging, demoing, classes, packing. Alongside that I am a full time mum to 16 month old twin boys. So releasing every other month gives me chance to keep my head above water, well...just about!

So, on the in-between release months the Design Team & I take a look back at a previously released product, dust it off and give it some love.
This month I decided to take a look back at the previously released Pure Florals: Cosmos clear stamp set...

With Spring just around the corner here in the UK and Easter coming up too, I thought this set would be nice to revisit and give some extra love to.
As usual I like to show a couple of my old favourite creations & more can be found HERE on the Pure Florals: Cosmos Pinterest page.
Ok, how about some new inspiration using this set...
I went for another quick CAS card using a few favourite challenges, first up the layout of my card is inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches sketch seen HERE and below. The colours of my card are from the new Color Throwdown challenge colours seen HERE and below. Lastly I thought I would join in on the TIME OUT Challenge HERE which is Spring or Easter themed cards.
The flowers are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured really simply with Copic markers. The sentiment is from Some Bunny and the edge of the white layer is die cut using Mama Elephant dies.
That's all from me, but how about some more inspiration using this set from the FABulous DT...
